CRUST BAKERY REVIEWS
Visited Crust bakery by chance. I was really surprised by their absolutely delicious bakery. Be it Snickerdoodle cookie or Honey cinnamon cookies, you will love it. My personal favourites are Sour cherry pastry. From the crunch in them to the deliciousness of cherries , there is fusion of flavour in each and every bite. Friendly staff and quick service just adds to the beauty and experience of it. Do visit if you are in downtown.
The pastries here are phenomenal! We made a stop by specifically hoping to find the carrot cake, which was definitely worth it. We also tried two other pastries: one with meringue and one with blueberry curd. Everything we had was delicious! The staff recommended coming early in the day for more selection as they usually sell out early, especially the savory pastries. I look forward to visiting again!
On a two day trip to Victoria, we came here for breakfast both the days, first day based on reviews and next day because everything we tried was yumm!! Must try their almond croissant, probably the best almond croissant I have ever had!

DUTCH BAKERY & DINER REVIEWS
Absolutely the best place in Victoria to get a dessert. These people do it right! So many selections, you'll always want more than one thing here. Highly recommend to anyone who likes desserts or to couples who want to get their loved one something special, with a memory to go along with it. The service is very pleasant, the atmosphere is bar none. ⁵/5
Amazing simple breakfast, lunch and afternoon coffee diner. This Gem on Fort Street is a 3rd generation Dutch family run bakery. You can eat in or order delicious cakes, cookies, squares, breads and handmade chocolates at the counter. Specials daily and very popular with locals/tourists. You will probably encounter a line up during the summer but it's worth it!
My husband said the burger was the best he's ever had and he eats a lot of burgers and the croquettes were full of meat not just beef flavor....the mocha point was on point, a must try!

FOL EPI REVIEWS
I loved this place, because it has bakery, coffee shop and Cafe Fantastico, so after when we finished our sandwiches, we were 100% sure we had to try pastry, so we got 3 different kinds and they were all amazing. Lots of people said it is little pricey, but in my opinion is worth it, because you getting natural, handmade products.
We went to both locations on a trip to Victoria. Believe the hype, the food there is so good! The breads are exquisite, and their creative use of condiments in their sandwiches are delicious. Both locations have outdoor seating. The sourdough is beyond words.
We had wonderful pastries and lattes here this morning. The patio was wonderful, and we enjoyed sharing a few of our crumbs with local sparrows.
